The Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM) announces the list of artists for the 39th edition of the Panorama da Arte Brasileira: Depois que tudo foi dito (Panorama of Brazilian Art: After It’s All Said), an emblematic biennial project in the museum’s history and a landmark in the history of Brazilian art. This edition is curated by Diane Lima.
The exhibition will be on view from September 12, 2026, to January 24, 2027, and marks MAM’s return to its home at Ibirapuera Park following the period during which the museum remained closed due to the renovation works on the Marquise.
The list features 33 artists from 13 Brazilian states, representing all regions of the country, and is composed of Allan Weber, Amorí, Ana Claudia Almeida, André Felipe Cardoso, Anti Ribeiro, Arorá, Bárbara Banida, biarritzzz, Carolina Cordeiro, Caroline Ricca Lee, Chacha Barja, Darks Miranda, Emer Freire, Fykyá Pankararu, Gilson Plano, Helô Sanvoy, Iagor Peres, Josi, Jota Mombaça, Kuenan Mayu, Lia D Castro, Lita Cerqueira, Marcelo Conceição, Moacir Soares de Faria, Nazas, Osvaldo Gaia, Oto Ferreira, Rafael Chavez, Rayana Rayo, Rodrigo Cass, Rose Afefé, Thaís Muniz and Ygor Landarin.
According to Diane Lima, the Panorama constitutes the most important and historic research platform on contemporary Brazilian art. For this edition, her investigation focuses especially on examining the effects, in the present, of what the curator calls an “epistemological turnpoint,” a movement that has taken place in the last two decades and has definitively impacted the national artistic production – a period marked by the advancement of affirmative action policies and by significant social and racial transformations in Brazilian society.
